unknown (good) bow, stamp nearly worn away

[Thomas Erickson]

So I've had this great bow for years now, and it's old and very well worn. So much so that the stamp, while partially visible, is illegible. I've tried everything short of a microscope and can't make it out, and nobody else has been able to either. I haven't really put a lot of effort into it, but several luthiers have examined it and just shrugged.

I bought the bow from a major US dealer when I spotted it lurking, forgotten and buried at the back of a bench; I asked for it to be haired on a whim, and it blew away every other bow in the place, including some very pricey examples. Nobody there knew what it was or where it came from, or even cared much, so I kept my mouth shut, negotiated a very fair price and it's the only bow I've cared to use since...

But of course I'm curious what the thing is; anybody have a tip on how to get a better look at the stamp? About the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried is a blacklight and I can't find mine at the moment; think that'd help anyway?

I can post some high res photos if anybody wants to have a gander or hazard a guess...
